Tyre reviews Kumho Ecsta STX KL12. Page 1 71

I bought a car on this tire, with a wear of 50%, and drove about 20,000 km over the summer. My impressions of this model are positive! It handles great on dry roads, and confidently enters sharp corners! It holds out much better on wet roads than I thought - it handles water perfectly! As for noise, I didn't notice any problems - probably because I have a diesel=)) I only hear the rumble of the engine and the power of the turbocharger

Installed the tire on Sorento size 255/50/19C.
On the highway and in turns it's really confident! Found it to be extremely soft for such a profile and a almost 2-ton car.
Above 60mph it starts to push, but tolerable.
On a wet track, I am in awe. I consider it to be worth the money.

This tire is very noisy, dislikes road crowning on asphalt, and oscillates a lot. The only plus of this tire is its behavior in the rain, as it holds wet asphalt well.
Everything else is nothing special.
I do not recommend buying this tire model, it's a waste of money.
I would categorically not buy such a tire for myself.

I got a terrible set of tires, hard and noisy. I thought the bearing was going to fly off, but it turned out it was the tires that were making all the noise. I'd never experienced anything like it before. Maybe they're tough to wear out, that's their only advantage. But I couldn't drive on them, had to replace them with regular European tires. Don't get Kumho tires, they're off-limits for me after this experience.

This tire is almost completely worn out. I have 275/45/20. It's so loud that from 40 to 100 km/h you can't hear the engine. I went on vacation, travelled 500 km and the rear left tire lost its air. Then I had to drive an additional 800 km in a rattle, with a stammering ESP, since the car's equipment doesn't have a spare wheel. And this has been done since the purchase of just

Installed new tires, drove 2000 km on them. Very sensitive to the groove, whines at speeds above 90 km/h. Driven on snow, normal if not "riding" on it, normal on wet and dry roads. On ice or black ice - almost complete lack of traction. Very weak on punctures. Never had a tire that would completely deflate within 1-2 minutes before this one. Two punctures with dropping onto the rim in a month. Typically, you

Normal tires for that price, for a quiet ride, REMINDER: this is a summer tire, and it's not meant to handle snow and ice well, that's up to you drivers to know better.

Rubbish

Noisy. Bought 2 wheels, and another 2 in the same store 6 months later, one batch seems to have had a defect, all cracked, strong wear, the second one still holding up

On wet snow, with a small decline, braking and handling - 0! Four-wheel drive doesn’t help. Extremely dangerous in mud and slush.
